xfs: catch buffers written without verifiers attached
We recently had a bug where buffers were slipping through log recovery without any verifier attached to them. This was resulting in on-disk CRC mismatches for valid data. Add some warning code to catch this occurrence so that we catch such bugs during development rather than not being aware they exist. Note that we cannot do this verification unconditionally as non-CRC filesystems don't always attach verifiers to the buffers being written. e.g. during log recovery we cannot identify all the different types of buffers correctly on non-CRC filesystems, so we can't attach the correct verifiers in all cases and so we don't attach any. Hence we don't want on non-CRC filesystems to avoid spamming the logs with false indications.
